Hello,

In standard (not customized) Acumatica, Released is the correct status for a completed PO receipt, whether a Bill is created or not.  Hiding the Enter AP Bill button and/or see a different status will require customizations.

Going forward for the non-stock item you can NOT flag, Require Receipt on the Generals tab (see below): 

Hi, 

Does the user requesting the button be removed ever use the ENTER AP BILL action from this screen?  If the user never uses this button we can look at the possibility of securing this function with Acumatica Access Rights, if the User does not have access to this action it will be hidden from the screen.
